According the WSJ (citing IHS, a market research outfit), an S5 costs $251.52 to make vs. $207 for the iPhone 5s. Who'd have thunk it! Crappy and cheap-looking stuff for more money. Wow! That's innovation for you <LOL!!> And that's not all. The maker has far more price control up and down the manufacturing chain than does Apple, considering it produces a number of the key components itself. Perhaps the next step for the creatively challenged wannabes in Suwon is to copy Apple's manufacturing chain... ya never know! A shame that can't be patented ;-))
